Beat the Heat: Troubleshooting Your AC When It’s Running But Not Cooling

Welcome to another day in sunny Jacksonville, where the only thing as certain as the picturesque beaches is the need for a working air conditioner. You come home after a day out, expecting a cool welcome, but instead, you’re met with a blast of warm air. Your AC unit is humming along, but it’s not cooling your home. Before the sweat beads turn into streams, let’s explore some DIY troubleshooting tips that might just save the day. And if all else fails, AC Panda has your back!

Understanding the Issue

It’s a peculiar situation: your system is active, but it’s not fulfilling its primary role – to cool. This can signal anything from a minor hiccup in the system to a more serious issue. But before you assume the worst, there are steps you can take to possibly rectify the problem yourself.

Step 1: Reset the System

First, we’re going to reset the system. This is like giving your AC a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer when it’s acting up.

Head to your electrical panel, a familiar place by now, and look for the breakers labeled for your HVAC system. You’ll likely find two – one for the heat and one for the AC. Switch them both off, wait for about a minute, then flip them back on. This can reset the system’s internal circuitry and may resolve the issue, allowing cool air to flow once again.

Pro Tip: In Florida’s stormy weather, power fluctuations are common and can affect your AC system. Regular resets can prevent miscommunication between your thermostat and the AC unit.

Step 2: Assess and Call for Backup

After the reset, give your system a moment. Check the vents for cool air and listen for the unit’s fan to ensure it’s working properly. If your home still isn’t cooling down, it’s time to call in the experts.
